Ant Targets:

 - clean                          deletes directories: build and webapps
 - setup                          creates directories: build and webapps
 - build-server                   processes annotations and compiles server code
 - create-war                     creates deployable web service
 - deploy-war                     deploys war to webapps directory
 - start-tomcat                   launches embedded Tomcat
 - server                         does all of the above
 - generate-client                generates proxy classes from web service wsdl
 - build-client                   compiles client code
 - client                         does both of the above

Ant Properties:

 - ${service.name}                name of web service (default: rm)
 - ${service.host}                hostname/IP of server (default: localhost)
 - ${service.port}                web service port binding (default: 8080)
 
Note that you may either modify these properties directly within build.xml, 
or specify any of them when launching ant from the command line (as below).

==========

Instructions:

1. Build and launch your service on the server machine:

   [userx][lab1-1][proj1]  ant server -Dservice.port=8081

   Make sure you use a unique port number to avoid port conflicts with other 
   groups that may be running their services on the same machine in the lab.
   
   You may use your group number as a prefix. For example:
     Group 1: 1081; Group 8: 8081; Group 10: 10081; Group 18: 18081
   
2. Build and launch your client on the client machine:

   [userx][lab1-2][proj1]  ant client -Dservice.host=lab1-1 -Dservice.port=8081 
   
   Make sure you specify the hostname/IP of the server and the port from step 1.
   
3. Run some test commands on the client:

     [java] Client Interface
     [java] Type "help" for list of supported commands
     
   newflight,1,1,1,1
     [java] Adding a new Flight using id: 1
     [java] Flight number: 1
     [java] Add Flight Seats: 1
     [java] Set Flight Price: 1
     [java] Flight added
     
   queryflight,1,1 
     [java] Querying a flight using id: 1
     [java] Flight number: 1
     [java] Number of seats available: 1

   If it works, you will see corresponding log messages on the server:
   
     [java] http-nio-8080-exec-1 INFO: RM::addFlight(1, 1, $1, 1) called.
     [java] http-nio-8080-exec-1 INFO: RM::addFlight(1, 1, $1, 1) OK.
     [java] http-nio-8080-exec-1 INFO: RM::queryNum(1, flight-1) called.
     [java] http-nio-8080-exec-1 INFO: RM::queryNum(1, flight-1) OK: 1
